If you design a city to get people walking, then people will do more physical activity. A new global study has found that a well-designed neighborhood not only keeps people fit but can reduce obesity, diabetes, and heart disease...

The Well-Designed City Is A Healthy City, All Over The World A major study that monitored 14,000 people in very different cities found that walkability is a universal public good.
